Leadership PSD exists to develop a lasting community of engaged partners to support PSD students.
Participants will learn from leaders in PSD about key aspects of how PSD operates, as well as the history, governance, budget, operations, curriculum, and special programs of Poudre School District and its 53 schools.
Leadership PSD alumni will exit the program with tangible partnership connections with PSD. Examples include providing Work-Based Learning opportunities for students, volunteering, joining a committee, starting a special project with your organization, supporting a school or district program, and/or any other partnership ideas that you/your organization may be inspired to pursue.
